But when horror, pain, and crushing loss threaten it all, they learn that leaving the past where it belongs is not so easy. (year 2 AU, Draco and Lucius bashing)

(Innocent!Regulus, RABxOC, rated M for smut)

The first ten years were lonely, the first ten years were painful...until I met you. You taught me to love, you taught me to trust, until you paid the ultimate price for my mistakes...a poem of remorse for the one who brought hope to my life.

Father-to-be Sirius wants to make a crib for his baby with love, not magic, but only succeeds in hammering his fingers. So he seeks out the baby's maternal grandfather, who is a Muggle, for help...and possibly some advice, as well. (Outtake from "Harry Potter and the Dogfather". Sirius's POV.)

Near the end of their second year, James is desperate to know what's bothering his best friend. Sirius is reluctant to tell, fearing that James might judge him for his family's fascination with Dark Magic. And he's just as reluctant to expose a vulnerable side of him James has never seen before. Switches between points of view. WARNING: INCLUDES SCENES OF CHILD ABUSE. DLDR.

5th year, part of my "Amare Leporum" AU. Sirius adds his infant son, Perseus Black, to the family tapestry. But since Perseus is a half-blood, this is an important turning point in Black family history.

The entirety of Gryffindor House cheered. James grinned at Lily, back in the stands with the rest of the crowd; she was jumping up and down in excitement. Cheering for him! Then he realized…if he was curious to see if she loved him back by now, there was really only one way to find out…

Severus Snape has invented Everlasting Polyjuice Potion, which lasts until you take the antidote. After an argument with Sirius, the two nemeses decide to switch places using the potion, from August until Christmas! During this swapping of lives, will they learn to understand each other? Or was this a VERY BAD IDEA? And where does Harry fit into it all? OOTP AU, background HP/HG.

All the HP one-shots I've ever written, oldest to newest. For genre I chose Friendship and Hurt/Comfort since those seem to come up the most often, although there is a family element as well. For characters, I also picked those who tend to crop up most frequently. For rating, all of them were rated T, so that was easy. Enjoy!

Over Christmas Break, Harry hears that he is possessed and wrongly infers that he is the Secret Weapon, so he goes to his godfather for help. Harry learns the true nature of the Prophecy, but ends up receiving some important advice about life as well, and maybe in the end, he can help heal Sirius's wounds too. Basically a nice godfather/godson bonding conversation. :) One-shot.

When a young Muggle woman named Lizzie moves into the Potters' old cottage with her husband and baby in 1982, she tries to explain away the "paranormal" phenomena they seem to encounter in the home-the ghostly sound of a child crying, knocking, footsteps on the stairs. But when things get more violent and harder to ignore, Lizzie fears her daughter may be the target...

When Snape can't find a date for the Yule Ball, he puts a spell called a Romance Charm on a new teacher. Just for that one night...but to his shock, his date declares that they must be married, igniting an unpredictable chain of events which just might end up with Snape finding true love, no spells needed...but not the way he expected! (GOF AU, SnapexOC, SiriusxOC, Hinny, Romione)

Sirius Black has adopted Harry, and he names Harry godfather to his newborn son, Perseus. But the colicky new continuation of the Black male line quickly gets on Harry's nerves; in fact, Perseus seems to have sent the whole household into chaos. Should Harry just spend Winter Break at Ron's? Or can he bond with his screaming little godson? (Order of the Phoenix AU)

We all remember Harry's first days at Hogwarts in 1991. But what about his father and the rest of the Marauders, twenty years prior? Take a time machine back to 1971 for some lighthearted, middle-school-style fun...as long as you solemnly swear that you're up to no good!

It's year 5 and almost time for Christmas. Harry sends a text message about Cho that changes everything; Ron goes MIA once Harry discovers his secret; Hermione mistakenly thinks Ron has depression; Kreacher is bothering Sirius more than ever. Told in an unusual format (think the book TTYL). Enjoy! HarryxCho, RonxHermione
